The Kraske Segment Of The Goldsmith Report

So, here we have a sitting, elected official constantly complaining about the covenants, codes, statutes, policy and procedures of a Planning Department in the government he represents as "It doesn't work", "Not Right", "Problems in the County System", "Too Hard".

Any wonder there would be a question as to the integrity of the Planning Commission this same official was liason to and could have effectively hand picked himself to overide, as necessary, decisions from Planning Staff that may hinder whatever agenda may need to be prospered?

Seems to me Kraske's segment of the Goldsmith report was very telling and could very well highlight the crux of the weakness in this County Commission's leadership philosophy.
"Kraske:Lee's common complaint to her about the land use planning system is that it "Doesn't Work" for "Business People" and that a "Common Person" should be able to work the system but, they can't and that's "Not Right"."

"Kraske: Lee is not alone among Commissioners in wanting to fix what they perceive as problems in the County system."

"Kraske: she believes Lee sincerely feels it's "Too Hard", that Clatsop County makes land development harder than it needs to be and they could exercise more discretion."

"Kraske:Lee Feels as though everyone is being asked to do more than they should have to."

"Kraske:Lee has talked about his own plan and developments and also about how the Planning Department "Is Not Right"."

"Kraske:Lee has never asked to directly intervene in one of his projects."
Kraske:told Lee, "it's fine to change the system but, not with your own projects"."

"Kraske:In the five years that Richard Lee has been on the Board of Commissioners, he has complained once a week, on average, either about someone else's projects or his own developments. The majority of the time he is complaining about his own projects."

"Kraske:other than Lee, in the past two years, she's only received two complaints from builders but, they weren't serious complaints. The builders only told her what they said because they knew her personally. Kraske has had no serious complaints from members of the public."

Kraske's points and interview misused, some say?

What do you think?
